On the basis of the newest reports on the National Health and Nutritional Survey, the review is focused on the comparison of the present states and problems of food intake and nutrition between Japan and Korea. It was revealed that the progress of the obesity rate becomes a serious problem in Korea when compared with that of Japan. A like-dislike investigation was carried out for 54 foods for University students in the two countries to figure out the difference of the food appetite between Japan and Korea. As the result, it turned out that noodles and fruits appeared favorable with the youth in the two countries, whereas fish and fishery products had the tendency of being undesirable to them. The tendency shows that white fish such as cod was liked in Korea, while red meat fish such as a bonito and a tuna were preferred to be eaten in Japan. In addition, bean, bean's product and vegetables had a tendency to be preferred in Japanese in comparison with Korean. It was found that although Japan and Korea share the same sea area and climate, their 'appetite'-related profiles were considerably different between the two countries.
